Kendall -- I know, I KNOW.......he has had the grace to stop now.....we have a story in our house that has three bedrooms and one bath and used to house three children, now the one (soon to be two)....so he has his lounge, his workout room AND his bedroom!!!! In his defence, I think some of the complaining is because he thinks it is expected of him. I well remember when he was about 9, he complained because he had to share a bathroom with his sisters.......'mum, it;'s full of GIRL stuff - it's disgusting...'. I pointed out that they complained to me that they stood on Lego when they took showers and hurt their feet and he had best stay out of it while he was ahead of the game ..... I lived in a terraced house in the UK for 7 years with NO bathroom -- just a loo down the yard. I suggested he stop right there. And he actually did.

Leadfingers - no apologies necessary....I love the 'chatting' that threads produce!
